Magnetic Study of Some Transition Metal Chelates with Thiolactic Anilide and Thiolactic p-Toluidide

Abstract

A series of transition metal compounds with ligands, thiolactic

anilide and thiolactic p-toluidide, containing heavier donor sulphur

atom, have been synthesised. Characterisations of these compounds

were made on the basis of their elemental analysis which showed

that metal : ligands ratio is 1 : 2 in all the compounds. The electrical

conductivities of these mono-nuclear compounds indicated herein

suggest that the compounds are of complex nature. Magnetic studies

of the complexes favour the octahedral symmetry of Co(II), Ni(II)

and Cu(II) complexes. The other compounds of Hg(II), Pb(II) and

Ag(I) are of diamagnetic behaviour.
